Egypt combines several migration facets: it is a country of destination, of transit and of origin. Migrants present or passing by Egypt are mainly from Sudan, Syria, and to a lesser extent from Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia and South Sudan. While some of them are only transiting and expecting to reach Europe from Egyptian’s shores, others are settling down in Cairo, Alexandria and Damietta, hoping for a better future.
The MSF project in Cairo is currently focusing on migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. The project is running an outpatient clinic that specializes in rehabilitation of victims of violence (mainly sexual violence, SV) and offers a comprehensive package of care. This comprehensive package of care includes medical care, psychological care, social support (referrals) and physiotherapy. Each patient has an individualized treatment plan implemented by a multi-disciplinary team (MDT).
For 2021, the project plans to support other partner organizations to offer a similar comprehensive care package to SV survivors (medical, mental health and social). After an in-depth assessment, a mentoring approach needs to be developed adapted to the needs of each partner organization and for the 3 departments (medical, mental health and social).
This project is not a typical MSF project (with ready-to-use tools) and requires a lot of flexibility, open-mindedness and capacity to adapt. This project focuses on migrants and refugees; therefore, a strong cultural sensitivity is required. In addition, the topic treated (sexual violence) is emotionally tiring and re-quires a good capacity to cope with stress.
For the above reasons, the project is a high-maintenance project, which relies greatly on human resources (and their adequate management).
